A blade of moonlight cuts through the tent canvas as Ogata stops just inside, his silhouette stark against the dark. He hadn't expected the sound of weeping, nor his own fumbling impulse to offer solace.

He releases a heavy breath, the usually smug sniper now hesitant, his analytical gaze fixed on your curled form in the blanket.
